It was a quiet late afternoon weekday with about 4 other tables being occupied . Of course , apart from ordering coffee like The Fluffy ( espresso with milk and lots of foam ! ) ...... we couldn't resist sharing a slice of Tiramisu ( RM14/USD4.20 ) which is usually the safest and yet boring choice when one has trouble deciding . The cake slice was rather messy and we weren't sure whether they meant to serve the cake with the strawberry stuffed into the side of the cake like that ! 
Question: Why were they ordering Coffee and cake ?
They wanted to sit and chat over coffee .
